i never think Ayu acting weird lately..

Do you think Ayu flew to Las Vegas for drug related reasons like she's making a deal or smuggling drugs in and out of the country? Maybe she's running from the police

i am so sad for ayu

She can hide out at my place! :D

:yes

j/k

Anyway, we shouldn't assume she's on drugs, but we shouldn't rule it out either. Honestly though, I would think she took them in her early days like after dropping out of high school and all. You never know what's in these "underground scenes" after all...

@CrystaAgeha: I get what you mean, but... people change all the time. Five years ago, I used to imagine getting married to Jessica Alba, and now... XD What I mean is, people change all the time, especially due to environmental influences - she exists in a complicated industry after all.

But I'll just take things with a pinch of salt and worry about my personal problems until the Japanese police actually found real proof and stuff of Ayu taking drugs.

It would certainly explain some of her photoshoots lately, that's for sure. (not serious)

It wouldn't surprise me, then again, the western notion of "celebrity" usually includes this sort of crap. Oh Ayu :(...

Shes probably getting her calendar pics ready with all this flying around everywhere :P

any other news u guys found?? i can only find articles abt her from the newspapers but they r just repeating the same thing

Poor Ayu. I don't know if I should believe this article or not. But it seems to be so real :(

Officialy no body says anything on this case so it's just gossip for me, so deleted x)

Hey, I enjoyed this post very much! It's kind of presumptous to say that people who have tried or do drugs have no "values" or "beliefs"- everyone's beliefs and values are different to begin with, and some people, believe it or not, can handle doing drugs recreationally. And hey, people aren't so black and white. There are a myrid of reasons why people turn to drugs. Depression is a big one. I'm sure a lot of your mothers or fathers smoked pot when they were little. It was widely available. I'd say it's not out of the question for Ayu to have experimented with some. I definitely would not think less of her if she has done that. (Besides don't the Japanese crack down even on pot?)

I still don't see how Ayu is acting weird lately. :shrug

I really hope all is well :(

most of us, or at least I, was joking lol

People in this thread just crack me up.

omg, i'm laughing so hard

Emiko keeps confusing people xD

FINALLY something more about this. (or at least it seems so) This was released by Tokyo Sports, which is a major and famous publication in Japan. It lists people who are on "The List" of suspected drug users in the entertainment industry who are under investigation. However, legally when it comes to these stories Japanese newspapers are not allowed to release full names, so they release initials with information that points the readers to who they are talking about. I got the translation of this from a Johnny's gossip blog:

Actress with a pure image, M - As you may have already heard, some believe this is Nagasawa Masami. She's suspected to have started doing drugs six months ago. Of course, they could be talking about someone else.

Sexy actress, K - Very good friend of M.

Popular actor with numerous lead roles in movies/dramas, T - He's rumored to have smoked marijuana in a club and his management has noticed his strange behavior - he just might get fired.

Highly skilled female singer, H - Allegedly hangs and does drugs with T.

Ikemen actor, H - Same as above.

Male R&B singer, K - Some believe this is Hirai Ken. He's been witnessed acting like a spaz. As with Nagasawa, this could be someone else.

Million seller singer who also composes for other artists, N - Same situation as K, except rumor has it he's already secretly being investigated. Shh, don't tell anyone!

Big time female singer, A - Her name came up right after one of the recent drug incidents and recently went to the police for questioning.

Female enka singer, Y - Like A, her name also came up.

And lastly,
A former super idol - No initial given.

It seems if it is referring to Ayu, that it would be the second one I bolded.

Wow, I cant believe this rumored thread is still going. I'm laughing with the whole initial thing. Why can't they just print the names already beside letting us guessing who's who. Even if this was true, I'm pretty sure its all over the news in asia by now, knowing how famous Ayu is. Until then, this is all garbage gossip.

Because they are usually not allowed to. It is standard procedure in Japan to hide the identity of people in their newspapers until they are formally charged with something. For cases of all types that are still under investigation they will usually only write things such as "A-san did this", "B-san did that" etc etc. The fact that it has shown up in Tokyo Sports means that it is being treated a bit more seriously than just "garbage gossip." Info on Tokyo Sports: http://www.mondotimes.com/1/world/jp/200/4646/17548 Even though it has Sports in the title, they often report on entertainment news as well.

I see, its not like here in America, when they think your a suspect they'll put your name all over the news.

are the letters for the first name or the last name?
